{smitten: bijou and boheme}

Have you ever stumbled across a blog or home that just knocks you off your feet?


 I have
 and am smitten with this home of new Canadian blogger on the block, the talented Christine of Bijou and Boheme. She does an amazing job of making her house look magazine worthy with touches of quirkiness and the unexpected.




{Chiang mai dragon pillows - sigh}


Love this room, the layers of modern mixed with traditional and touches of femininity.


Love how the tv is part of the art above the gorgeous rosewood console. The gorgeous mirror reminds me of a Parisian apartment.


Ok- settee envy, is that settee not amazing! Loving the juxtaposition of the curvy lines of the settee and ghost chair against the clean modern lines of the table and lamp. 
Hello  - I just want to get rid of all my furniture and start from scratch. 


This is where Christine and I have something in common - I have a photo gallery like this flowing up the stairwell. Only thing is she has beautiful wooden tread stairs while my stairs are covered in ugly beige carpet. Sigh...




Check out her kitchen. LOVE this kitchen. She talks about possibly painting it white which I think would look amazing. I am partial to white kitchens and dream about having one, one day. In the meantime I can enjoy the eye candy that the world of design blogs have to offer.



One of her projects she is currently working on is recovering this Craigslist bergere chair with Marimekko fabric. 

To.die.for.

{Excuse me local Craigslist sellers - could you please sell chairs like this?}

Check out the wallpaper that she is putting up in her entryway. What a daring move - I don't think I would have ever given this wallpaper a second thought!



Christine is definitely one to watch, I can see her showing up in a magazine one day!
Welcome to the world of blogging Christine, can't wait to follow along and see what is next up your sleeve.
